Danny Boyle was a born angel.

At least that’s what his granny used to say, and she should know – she raised him after his parents proved incapable. When she becomes ill, Danny is reunited with his parents but they do not get to live happily ever after, as the ghosts of the past haunt their days. And when the old woman dies, all of her secrets come to light and shatter everything Danny believes in.

In the turmoil of 1970’s Ireland, an alienated Danny gets into drugs and is involved in a gangland killing. Duped by the killers into leaving his prints on the gun, Danny needs all the help his friends and family can muster. Calling in favors from bishops and priests, police and paramilitaries, God and the devil, the living and the dead, they do all that they can. But even that might not be enough.

BORN & BRED is the first novel in the Life & Times Trilogy, a cycle of three novels that will chart the course of one star-crossed life. It is a work of vibrant imagination from a poetic novelist of the first order. For more please see http://thestoryplant.com/our-authors/peter-murphy/born-bred-by-peter-murphy/All Rights Reserved

My Nice Demon (En) by My_Nice_Demon

Alison Wright is dead. Not symbolically, not emotionally : clinically dead. A car. An impact. Darkness. And yet, she's still breathing. Brought back to life by a pact she doesn't understand, Alison quickly realizes this return is no miracle. Her heart beats again, but every beat comes at a price. To atone for her passage between worlds, she must face the Lost Ones. Every time a human dies with deep regrets... they rot, and transform. These souls take shape, linger, attack. And now, they're hunting her. Fortunately - or unfortunately - she's not alone. Assigned to a sarcastic and unpredictable demon named Harley Blake, Alison must learn to survive, to fight, to make sense of this hidden world... all while resisting the strange bond forming between them. Harley is no guardian angel. She's blunt, fierce, and doesn't hide her contempt for humans. But behind the fangs, something slumbers. Something softer. And far more dangerous. And as the Lost Ones draw near... Alison begins to wonder: What if the most dangerous thing here... is what she's starting to feel for her own demon? A second chance. A deal with hell. And maybe... a love neither of them expected. ⚠️ Warning, PEGI 16 ⚠️ This book contains: - Explicit language - Scenes of verbal or psychological violence - Threats of a sexual nature -drugs -some demons a little too horny -duck -mention of blood -Gun violence -Organized crime -Non-explicit sexual content In short: if you are sensitive to this kind of content, I suggest you skip it.

Music Notes & Guitars (Louis Tomlinson) by infinityhope0

"Blue" De Wolfe is living a life she never thought she'd live. She's famous, and she's living a life for her fans, and to send a message to those who need it. And she thinks it's the perfect reality anybody would live. Until she wakes up in a hospital, being told who she is, and what happened. A car accident, at the age of thirteen, caused 'Blue' to be in a hospital, not remembering a single thing. At first, it doesn't seem real -- her new life. Dealing life without her One Direction boys is hard enough, but add the fact that she doesn't remember anyone or anything, and it sends 'Blue' into a deep dark abyss.

And when the chance arises due to her 'newfound fame', she takes it. And just as it plays out, One Direction's been eager to meet her as well. Penelope De Wolfe is thrown into a reality she's never known. And maybe to help her get used to it is One Direction. Read on, and watch Penny get used to reality, and her new life. All she needs is a little bit of music notes & guitars.
